"The Tale of Two Brains"

Scripture says we are fearfully and wonderfully made and that God created us in His image male and female. We're equal in value, worth and dignity. He's also given us different roles and responsibilities.
Men and women are equal BUT not the same. This includes some amazing and often funny things about how we're wired. Check out Mark Gungor's "Tale of Two Brains"

Greetings!

Tom SITGLast month we told you that Tom Joyce, who's Pastor of Family and Discipleship at Immanuel Bible Church and also a member of the WACMM Leadership Team, was headed for major surgery at Bethseda Naval Hospital. Well, praise God the surgery was very successful and he's is at home recuperating. We're looking forward to Tom's return soon. Tom is part of the The Pastors Band which will be leading worship at our ISI Conference November 1 at Christian Fellowship Church.

This October 6 will mark one year since we called men from across America to the National Mall for Stand in the Gap 2007. 20,000 men, pastors, men's leaders and their sons and grandsons joined us there for the largest outdoor men's gathering in the last decade.

One of the highlights of the fourteen notable speakers who addressed us that day was Tom Joyce's remarks. Tom stood with his two sons and spoke about "The Rest of Your Life". Here's Tom telling the same story at an earlier men's gathering in New England about his being in the Pentagon on 9.11.01. Take a listen
